Hi,

is it possible to send messages to a variable list of pushover receivers ?  
If I use node-red-contrib-pushover I am limited to only one specific and "hard-coded" receiver, but thats not what I want.

I want to send to different receivers - defined by a variable list of userkeys and applicationkeys.  
Is there a way to solve this using node-red-contrib-pushover ? or do I have to build a POST request using the official pushover API ?

BR

Yes it is possible to set an array of receivers, then in a function node loop over array, create message and receiver and use node.send() to send the messages on each loop. Or  
I think msg.device can also hold a comma seperated list  
the available inputs are

- `msg.topic` : This will be used as the title of the notification if **Title** is not set
- `msg.image` : The URL of the image in notification. Local file path or http(s) url
- `msg.url` : Can add an url to your notification
- `msg.url_title` : Can set the title of the url
- `msg.priority` : -2/-1/1/2, [see explain](https://pushover.net/api#priority)
- `msg.device` : Default for all device if not provided. Separated by a comma
- `msg.sound` : Name of the notification sound, [see the list](https://pushover.net/api#sounds)
- `msg.timestamp` : An unix timestamp to specific the date time of your notification

If you want to send to different api keys, just add seperate nodes for each key, then with a function or switch node direct the output to the various pushover nodes.

exactly thats not the way I want to solve it 🙂  
in this case I have to create receiver nodes for each and every new user

Then as you say you will have to send a http request to the rest api.
